Description
The project promotes circular solutions in agriculture using compost combined with mycorrhizal fungi, improving nutrient availability, especially phosphorus. It aims to replace mineral fertilizers, increase the efficiency of the soil-plant system, and promote carbon sequestration in sustainable agroecosystems.
Results
The combined use of compost and mycorrhizal fungi as a fertilization strategy proved suitable for improving sorghum plant development in both mining and agricultural soils, enhancing the plants' assimilation of soil nutrients, particularly the phosphorus supplied by the amendment. The enzymatic profile of the agricultural soil used improved with microbial inoculation, as did overall microbial activity. Microbial inoculation with PGPR in both soils significantly reduced plant stress (proline concentration, P<0.05), primarily in the mining soil, leading to delayed flowering and seed production, but with increased plant growth.
